Steve,
Is it you job to come around here and disseminate FUD? If that's how
you feel about the i5, why waste your time on this listserv (especially the
effort of posting to it). I have to assume that if you make the effort,
there must be some motive behind it...

By the way, those are pretty lame arguments against the i5... it's the best
system I have ever run across for running BUSINESSES. I don't think those
minor annoyances add up to much trouble for such a stable and unique
architecture.

Steve,

Haven't you played this card before? Time for a new deck, or maybe a new
table for you??

After the last 8 quarters, this is indeed very good to see. Hopefully

the

Power6 can provide some momentum.

what with i5/OS starved for investment, I dont see how the system has a
future. ILE is outdated, object names limited to 10 chars, max 16 meg

user

spaces, clients like crystal reports only see the 10 char sql procedure
name, sql procedures could be better integrated into the system, ...
